INFLUENCE OF VAGAL NERVE STIMULATION ON INFLAMMATION When there is inflammation brewing in the Gut or Periphery, this pro-inflammatory message is communicated to the brain via afferent Vagal fibers. The Brain processes the message and then sends an efferent anti-inflammatory signal down the Vagus Nerve to help Neutralize inflammatory signals in the Gut and Body. This process is known as the 'Inflammatory Reflex'. The mechanisms illustrated and described here are enormously important for regulating Inflammatory Flux and Signaling throughout the body. When the pro-inflammatory signals are too great, or the anti-inflammatory reflex isn't working optimally, inflammation can start burning out of control. Thus contributing to Mental Illness and Chronic Diseases. Because most people have a #LeakyGut and poor #VagalTone their inflammatory reflex is dysfunctional. This increases inflammation in the body and brain.

HISTAMINE, LEAKY BRAIN & MENTAL ILLNESS High Histamine can cause Leaky Brain, Microglial Activation, Neuroinflammation, and Mental Illness!⁣ ⁣ Most people associate Histamine with allergies but it's roles in the body go way beyond facilitating allergic responses. It's a neuro-endocrine-immuno-modulator that plays an important role in facilitating inflammatory responses and helping white blood cells migrate to target tissues. It also aids in digestion by stimulating gastric juices. In the brain it acts as an excitatory Neurotransmitter. ⁣ ⁣ I included Histamine as a core biomarker on my #MentalMAP Lab Test because of its crucial role in #MentalHealth and because high histamine is extremely common. ⁣ ⁣ Histamine has been linked to various Mental Health Disorders, including:⁣ 👉Autism Spectrum Disorder ⁣ 👉Depression ⁣ 👉Anxiety⁣ 👉Schizophrenia ⁣ ⁣ Histamine Overload can be caused through several mechanisms:⁣ 👉Too many Histamine triggers⁣ 👉Too much Histamine production⁣ 👉Too little Histamine Metabolism ⁣ Check out the FREE Gut-Brain Axis Guide ➡️ https://www.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/free-resources Credit: @the_holistic_savage #GutBrainAxis #GutHealth #FunctionalMedicine #VagusNerve #FunctionalMentalHealth #SelfHealing #Anatomy #Neurology #Tensegrity #Biotensegrity #Fascia #Physiotherapy #Osteopathy #Yoga #Pilates #Medicine #Vagus #MentalIllness #MentalHealth #Microbiome #Neuroplasticity #Neuroinflammation #LeagyGutSyndrome #GlutenFree #Autoimmunity #SelfHealers https://www.instagram.com/p/CZT2ttyAWf7/?utm_medium=tumblr

LEAKY BRAIN ⁣ Leaky Brain has been observed in virtually all Mental Illnesses and Neurodegenerative Conditions. Autism, Depression, Alzheimer’s, and everything in between. ⁣ Now Leaky Brain isn't something you 'do' or 'don't' have. Think of it like a scratch/scrape you get on your arm. If you're not careful you might make it worse, have it get infected, or get another cut. If you take good care of it, the scratch/cut will heal as the tissues regenerate. ⁣ ⁣ Leaky Gut and Leaky Brain are similar. So it's a matter of how many destructive input signals are your tissues receiving vs. how many healing input signals. ⁣ ⁣ Further, Mental Illness is largely an epigenetic phenomenon. You could have three different individuals that have genetic disposition towards three different conditions. Let's say Depression, ADHD, and Autism. The more oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue barrier breakdown (Leaky Gut and Brain) they have, the more the genes will express the conditions that we call Mental Illnesses. ⁣ ⁣ This is again why I would argue that 'cause' (singular) and 'cure' is excessively simplistic ideology and prevents us from having more Functional dialogue.⁣ ⁣ Take me for example, my genes predispose me to Depression. Back in the day when I had excessive dysfunction in my body, I was very symptomatic and on multiple medications to manage the symptoms. Now I'm symptom free and medication free. My genes didn't change. Their expression did.

LEAKY GUT AND DYSBIOSIS How prevalent Mold and Lyme are as root causes of Mental Illness? Although when present, the cases tend to be more severe, Lyme and Mold are not nearly as prevalent or common as Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut, LeakyBrain, high blood sugar, obesity, nutrient Insufficiencies, and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Microbiome Depletion (of the human gut AND soil of the planet) is a HUGE problem that is still not getting the traction it needs. In case 2020 wasn't evidence enough, our Governments are still very obsessed with sterilizing the planet. It's not boading well for the collective and Microbiome research is popping holes in everything we think we know about human health and disease. Microbes are the building blocks of life itself! Most individuals living a sedentary Standard Lifestyle (or westernized/modernized) and eating a Standard Diet (highly processed), have highly leaky and dysbiotic Guts. “How do I fix this?” ⁣ ⁣ Check this link: ➡️ https://go.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/gutbrain Credit: @the_holistic_savage #GutBrainAxis #GutHealth #FunctionalMedicine #VagusNerve #FunctionalMentalHealth #SelfHealing #Anatomy #Neurology #Tensegrity #Biotensegrity #Fascia #Physiotherapy #Osteopathy #Yoga #Pilates #Medicine #Vagus #MentalIllness #MentalHealth #Microbiome #Neuroplasticity #Neuroinflammation #LeagyGutSyndrome #GlutenFree #Autoimmunity #SelfHealers https://www.instagram.com/p/CZOJMcJtKxY/?utm_medium=tumblr
